Any time an eligible item crosses the US / Canada border, a 25% tariff is applied. This is how the US does it, so this is what the Canadian government is copying.
This is terrible for auto manufacturing, where various parts cross the border multiple times between raw materials, loose parts, assembled parts and assembled vehicle. Every time those parts or materials cross either border, it gets tariffed 25%.
I believe if your item comes from the US, lands in another country, gets re-labeled and then enters Canada, it won't be tariffed, but don't quote me on that.
How do they define "an item", because couldn't a bunch of people get together and order stuff from outside the US and then just have it all delivered in one big box? Are they going to open every box to make sure that there's only one item in it, how do they know it's not just one big item?
For example if I order one washing machine then that's one item but if I order various parts for a washing machine then that's lots of items, but technically the washing machine already contained those parts that were considered one item
The tax is on the value , if you declare your washing machine has value of 1$ then the tax would be labelled accordingly but that would be a fraud.
Hence if you order parts of the washing machines you would have to declare value of the individual part and it would be taxed accordingly.
I believe it has to be declared on the packing manifest, but it relies on the expeditor being truthful. That's my understanding of it.
I don't think it's about the place of manufacture, but rather the place of origin. A lot of items are manufactured all over the place.
